I have a very good business idea that I think could really work, I have drafted up a business plan but am having difficulty finding similar loans in UK. Do we have anything similar? If not a loan then maybe a grant?

But at the same time bank and other lender are not allowed to discriminate against any disabilities so in theory you should be able to get a normal business loan if your business plan is good and you have covered all the aspects. Also I suppose it will depend on your credit rating and how good of a potential borrower you are.
